Call out for Australians attending Asian Side of the Doc

05 February 2014 By Screen Australia

Screen Australia will be providing a marketplace umbrella at this year's Asian Side of the Doc in Chengdu, China.

The four-day factual TV market offers a line-up of panels, networking events and a pitching forum designed to maximise investment and co-production opportunities with some of the world’s fastest growing markets.

Screen Australia will be publishing a directory of producers attending Asian Side of the Doc, Australia at Asian Side of the Doc. It will be a key resource for international delegates wishing to do business with Australian companies.

Australia at Asian Side of the Doc is designed to give an overview of Australian companies attending the market, including information about project slates and company contact details in English and Mandarin. The directory will be made available online and inserted in all delegate bags.

Screen Australia’s Enterprise Asia program will provide funding of up to $10,000 per application to participate in Asian Side of the Doc. The funding will support travel as well as company development costs for projects that applicants wish to present to potential partners in the region. Applications for travel funding closed on 28 January and successful applicants will be notified by 10 February.

Screen Australia has also worked with the organisers of Asian Side of the Doc to secure a 50 per cent discounted registration for Australian delegates.
